Insurance Agency Growth Strategist

Priya works with independent and captive agencies on the growth side of automation — turning an existing book into recurring cross-sell revenue and getting more households to a second and third policy. She came up running marketing for a multi-line agency, so she thinks in terms of premium written, retention by line, and producer capacity rather than vanity open rates. Her posts focus on the strategy layer: which automations actually pay for themselves, how to sequence a cross-sell offer so it doesn't feel like a pitch, and how to measure whether any of it is working.
